I could go through all of the symbols and marks in the dictionary, but for one, I am not proficient enough with the computer to add such pronunciation guides to my post (nor do I have a clue on audio files), and for two I didn't think we had to go through it all.<p>As for province over territory, it was a simple mistake; I know it to be a territory, and I accidently substituted one for the other.
